Ray Allen on Steph Curry: 'He had a helluva season'

***UPDATED***

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry set an NBA single-season record for three-pointers on Wednesday, surpassing Ray Allen's old mark of 269. Curry was 4 of 11 from three-point range in the Warriors' season finale and finished the season with 272 three-pointers.

"He had a helluva season,” Allen said before the Heat's game against the Magic. “Someone asked me a
year or two ago and I said he was one of the guys that I thought had the potential
of having the three-point record of the season or career because he reminds me
of myself when I was in Seattle, bringing the ball up the floor, playing the
open system, getting the ball in the air.

Curry has scored at least six three-pointers in 13 games this season. He was 11 of 13 from three-point range against the Knicks in February when he scored 54 points at Madison Square Garden. He had nine three-pointers against the Lakers last Friday in an epic game that saw Curry pour in 47 points. He then had seven three-pointers on Monday against the Spurs.

“He’s had some big nights," Allen said. "You figure you’ve got to have some
seven-three-pointer nights throughout the season and he’s done that, so I knew
maybe five or six games ago at the rate that he’s playing that he would be able
to break it.”
